Defrosting the freezer**
It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with washing it.
Excessive accumulation of ice in the freezing areas impairs the appliance’s freezing capacity and increases
energy consumption.
Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case of a higher ice build-up, defrosting must be carried
out more frequently.
If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the max. position about 4 hours before the planned defrosting.
This will ensure the possibility of storing the food at ambient temperature for a longer time.
After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a container, wrap it with several layers of paper, and a blanket
and store it in a cool place.
The defrosting operation should last as short as possible. Long storage of food at ambient temperature
shortens its shelf life.
Defrost the freezer chamber following steps:**
Switch of the appliance using the control panel and pull the plug out from the socket..
Open the door and remove the food from the freezer.
Depending on the model, pull out the drainage tube located in the bottom of the freezer compartment and place
a suitable vessel un- derneath.
Leave the door open, this will speed up the defrost process. Additionally, a pot with hot water (not boiling) may
be placed inside the freezer compartment.
Wash the interior of the freezer and wipe it dry.
Switch on the appliance as per the relevant point in the manual.
Automatic fridge defrosting****
The fridge chamber has been equipped with an automatic defrosting function. However, frost may settle on the
rear wall of the fridge chamber.
This happens usually when large quantities offresh food products are stored in the fridge.
Automatic fridge defrosting****
The freezer chamber has been equipped with an automatic defrosting function (no frost). The food is frozen in the
cooled circulation air, and the moisture from the freezer chamber is discharged outside. As a result, no ice and
frost is produced in the freezer and the products do not freeze on each other.
Washing the fridge and freezer chambers manually****
It is recommended to wash the fridge and freezer chambers at least once a year. This prevents the formation of
bacteria and bad odors. Switch off the appliance, using the button (1), remove the food from the chambers and
wash them using water with a mild detergent. Then, wipe the cham- bers dry with a cloth.
Taking out and putting in the shelves*****
Slide the shelf out, then slide it in as much as possible so that its clamp could fit the guide groove (fig. 15).
Taking out and putting in the door shelf*****
Lift the door shelf, remove it, and put it back from the top into its required position (fig. 16).
WARNING! You must not put an electric heater, a heating fan, or a hair dryer into the freezer by any means.
